2 Timothy 4:9–22
§ 299
2 Timothy 4:9–22 § 299
My son Timothy, Be diligent to come to me quickly; for Démas has forsaken me, having loved this present world, and has departed unto Thessaloníca; Créscens to Galátia, Titus for Dalmátia. Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for the ministry. And Týchicus I have sent to Éphesus. Bring the cloak that I left with Cárpus at Tróas when you come—and the books, especially the parchments. Alexander the coppersmith did me much harm. May the Lord reward him according to his works. You also must beware of him, for he has greatly resisted our words. At my first defense no one stood with me, but all forsook me. I pray God that it may not laid to their charge. But the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear. And I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto His heavenly Kingdom. To Him be glory for ever and ever. Amen! Salute Prísca and Áquila, and the household of Onesíphorus. Erástus stayed in Córinth, but Tróphimus I have left in Milétus sick. Do your utmost to come before winter. Eubúlus greets you, as well as Púdens, Línus, Claudia, and all the brethren. The Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.
Mark 10.11-16
§ 44
Mark 10.11-16 § 44
And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.
καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς· ὃς ἂν ἀπολύσῃ τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ καὶ γαμήσῃ ἄλλην, μοιχᾶται ἐπ᾿ αὐτήν·
И҆ гл҃а и҆̀мъ: [Заⷱ҇ 44] и҆́же а҆́ще пꙋ́ститъ женꙋ̀ свою̀ и҆ ѡ҆же́нитсѧ и҆но́ю, прелюбы̀ твори́тъ на ню̀:
And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.
καὶ ἐὰν γυνὴ ἀπολύσασα τὸν ἄνδρα γαμηθῇ ἄλλῳ, μοιχᾶται.
и҆ а҆́ще жена̀ пꙋ́ститъ мꙋ́жа {мꙋ́жа своего̀} и҆ посѧ́гнетъ за и҆но́го, прелюбы̀ твори́тъ.
And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.
Καὶ προσέφερον αὐτῷ παιδία, ἵνα αὐτῶν ἅψηται· οἱ δὲ μαθηταὶ ἐπετίμων τοῖς προσφέρουσιν.
И҆ приноша́хꙋ къ немꙋ̀ дѣ́ти, да ко́снетсѧ и҆́хъ: ᲂу҆чн҃цы́ же преща́хꙋ приносѧ́щымъ.
But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
ἰδὼν δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἠγανάκτησε καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ἄφετε τὰ παιδία ἔρχεσθαι πρός με, καὶ μὴ κωλύετε αὐτά· τῶν γὰρ τοιούτων ἐστὶν ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ.
Ви́дѣвъ же і҆и҃съ негодова̀ и҆ речѐ и҆̀мъ: ѡ҆ста́вите дѣте́й приходи́ти ко мнѣ̀ и҆ не брани́те и҆̀мъ, тацѣ́хъ бо є҆́сть црⷭ҇твїе бж҃їе:
Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.
ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ὃς ἐὰν μὴ δέξηται τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ ὡς παιδίον, οὐ μὴ εἰσέλθῃ εἰς αὐτήν.
а҆ми́нь гл҃ю ва́мъ: и҆́же а҆́ще не прїи́метъ црⷭ҇твїѧ бж҃їѧ ꙗ҆́кѡ ѻ҆троча̀, не и҆́мать вни́ти въ нѐ.
And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them.
καὶ ἐναγκαλισάμενος αὐτὰ κατηυλόγει τιθεὶς τὰς χεῖρας ἐπ᾿ αὐτά.
И҆ ѡ҆б̾е́мь и҆̀хъ, возло́жь рꙋ́цѣ на ни́хъ, блгⷭ҇влѧ́ше и҆̀хъ.
